Evaboot is the best-known Sales Navigator scraper, and for one-click CSV exports at small volume it works. In my experience, the search for an Evaboot alternative starts when one of four things bites: the Chrome extension running as your own LinkedIn account, the 20 to 30% bounce rates users report on its found emails, the daily-quota answer to the 2,500-result cap, or the per-lead math at volume. Full disclosure before anything else: I build in this category, WizLeads is my product, and it appears at number one below. I track every competitor closely because they are my competitors, and I have included where each of them beats me.
The comparison table
Costs use a standardized workload: 10,000 verified emails delivered, assuming a 60% find rate (so ~16,700 leads scraped), priced at each tool's own credit math.
| Tool | Type | LinkedIn account risk | 2,500 cap handling | Email find + verify | Cost per 10K enriched leads |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evaboot | Chrome extension | medium | daily quotas | built-in | $270 |
| WizLeads | cloud, account-less | none | automatic URL splitting | built-in | $93 |
| Scrupp | cloud + extension | medium | manual splitting | built-in | $99 |
| Lobstr | cloud, your session | low-medium | separate splitter utility | via third parties | $107 |
| PhantomBuster | cloud, your session | medium | manual splitting | via waterfall add-ons | $439 |
| Wiza | Chrome extension | medium | daily quotas | built-in | varies |
What Evaboot gets right, and where it loses people
Evaboot's one-click export is the smoothest onboarding in the category, its data cleaning is well-liked, emails come back verified in the same call, and a 4-person bootstrapped team at $2M ARR with 200K users has clearly built something people want. At 100 to 500 leads a week it is a fine tool.
The complaints that fill its review pages cluster in four places. The extension architecture means every export runs through your LinkedIn session, with account risk managed by daily quotas rather than removed. Email quality is the loudest complaint: users report 40 to 60% find rates and 20 to 30% bounce rates on found emails. Send those without a separate verification pass and you will burn sending domains. I have watched clients do it. The 2,500-result search cap is handled by splitting exports across days, so a large territory takes a week of quota. And the credit math compounds at scale: at 1 credit per scrape plus 1 per found email, 10,000 delivered emails costs about $270 of its $500/50K plan.
The alternatives
1. WizLeads
The structural difference: no extension, no session, no cookies. WizLeads scrapes Sales Navigator on its own cloud infrastructure in account-less mode, so there is no LinkedIn account to risk and no daily quota defending it. Searches over the 2,500 cap are split algorithmically, run in parallel, and deduplicated, one paste-and-run job for any territory size; I covered the mechanics in Sales Navigator export limits.
Enrichment and verification run in the same pass as the scrape. In my 1,000-lead enrichment benchmark, WizLeads delivered 670 verified-valid emails per 1,000 leads with zero invalids on verify, against a field ranging from 259 to 633; the verification engine behind that posted a 0.60% real bounce rate in my separate six-verifier send test. Cost for the standard 10K enriched-lead workload is about $93 at the top-tier per-credit rate, and plans start at $39.
Where Evaboot is better than my product: brand track record and social proof (200K users versus a newer product), and native connectors (Evaboot ships HubSpot plus Zapier, Make, n8n, Clay; WizLeads is API-first with native CRM connectors still on the roadmap). Both benchmarks publish the raw data, so audit my claims there rather than taking this section on faith.
2. Scrupp
Cloud-based with a cookie-reading extension, and scraping itself is free: credits only pay for enrichment (1 credit per found email). That makes it the cheapest way to bulk-collect raw profiles, with a 65% claimed find rate and sub-5% claimed bounce on enrichment, plus newer built-in outreach sequences. The caveats from its review pages: recurring support and billing complaints, documented LinkedIn warnings for some users, a 10,000-lead per-export cap with no automatic splitting, and an AppSumo lifetime-deal controversy in March 2026. About $99 for the 10K workload on the Enterprise plan, consumed entirely.
3. Lobstr
The per-scrape price leader: $100 buys 100,000 credits, and a scraped profile is 1 credit. Email finding is 9 credits per success because Lobstr routes enrichment through third parties (Hunter, Snov, Dropcontact) under the hood, which lands the 10K enriched workload at about $107. It ships a standalone URL-splitter utility for the 2,500 cap, though the scraper itself does not auto-split, and it runs on your session cookie with published daily limits (5K leads/day). Strong support reputation. No catch-all handling is disclosed for its enrichment output, so verify before sending.
4. PhantomBuster
PhantomBuster is the generalist of this list, with 130+ automations across LinkedIn, Instagram, Google Maps, and more, chained into workflows. If you want one platform for all scraping and outreach automation, nothing else here compares. As a pure Sales Nav-to-verified-email pipeline it is the expensive route: multi-dimensional credits (execution hours plus email credits plus slots) land the 10K workload at about $439 on the Scale plan, the learning curve is the steepest in this list, and Phantoms break when LinkedIn changes its UI. Session-cookie based, with well-documented ban risk at aggressive velocity.
5. Wiza
The closest like-for-like swap: another Chrome extension with built-in email finding and per-lead pricing. In my enrichment benchmark Wiza found the most emails of any tool (671 per 1,000) but shipped 38 invalid ones, netting 633 verified-valid, second to WizLeads' 670 with zero invalid. A good pick if you want extension ergonomics with better email output than Evaboot; the account-risk and cap constraints of the extension model still apply.
How to choose
The fork is architectural before it is feature-level. If your own LinkedIn account must never be exposed, only account-less cloud scraping qualifies, and that is a category of one right now. If you accept managed session risk, Scrupp and Lobstr price aggressively, and Evaboot and Wiza win on ergonomics. If you need automation breadth beyond LinkedIn, PhantomBuster is the only real answer.
Whatever scrapes the profiles, judge the email layer separately. The spread between finders was 2.6x on identical input in my benchmark, and unverified finder output at 20 to 30% bounce rates will cost you sending domains.

FAQ
What is the best Evaboot alternative?
For zero account risk and automatic cap splitting, WizLeads. For cheapest raw scraping, Scrupp or Lobstr. For multi-platform automation, PhantomBuster. For extension ergonomics with stronger email output, Wiza.
Why switch from Evaboot?
Account risk from the extension model, 20 to 30% user-reported bounce rates on found emails, day-quota handling of the 2,500 cap, and about $270 per 10K enriched leads at volume.
Can I scrape Sales Navigator without risking my account?
Only with account-less cloud scraping, where the vendor's infrastructure does the extraction and your session is never used. Session-cookie cloud tools reduce the risk; extensions concentrate it.
What does 10,000 enriched leads actually cost?
At a standardized 60% find rate: WizLeads ~$93, Scrupp ~$99, Lobstr ~$107, Evaboot ~$270, PhantomBuster ~$439.
